We provide an explicit construction of a cross section for the geodesic flow on infinite-area Hecke triangle surfaces which allows us to conduct a transfer operator approach to the Selberg zeta function. Further we construct closely related…

We give a formula for the topological pressure of the geodesic flow of a compact rank 1 manifold in terms of the growth of the number of closed hyperbolic (rank 1) geodesics. We derive an equidistribution result for these geodesics with…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold, we prove the C0-general density theorem for continuous geodesic flows. More precisely, that there exists a residual (in the C0-sense) subset of the continuous geodesic flows such that, in that residual…

Starting with a trivial periodic flow on $\mathbb{S}M$, the unit tangent bundle of a genus two surface, we perform a Dehn-type surgery on the manifold around a tubular neighborhood of a curve on $\mathbb{S}M$ that projects to a…

We study the geodesic flow of geometrically finite quotients $\Omega/{\Gamma}$ of Hilbert geometries, in particular its recurrence properties. We prove that, under a geometrical assumption on the cusps, the geodesic flow is uniformly…

We exhibit orbits of the geodesic flow on a hyperbolic surface with at least one cusp such that every tubular neighborhood contains uncountably many distinct geodesic flow orbits. The proof relies on new phenomena, namely the existence of…

We prove a quantitative version of the non-uniform hyperbolicity of the Teichm\"uller geodesic flow. Namely, at each point of any Teichm\"uller flow line, we bound the infinitesimal spectral gap for variations of the Hodge norm along the…

Any closed, oriented, hyperbolic three-manifold with nontrivial second homology has many quasigeodesic flows, where quasigeodesic means that flow lines are uniformly efficient in measuring distance in relative homotopy classes. The flows…

In this paper, we consider the geodesic flow on factors of the hyperbolic plane. We prove that a periodic orbit including a 2-antiparallel encounter has a partner orbit. We construct the partner orbit and give an estimate for the action…

We construct a global hypersurface of section for the geodesic flow of a convex hypersurface in Euclidean space admits an isometric involution. This generalizes the Birkhoff annulus to higher dimensions.

A Lefschetz formula is given that relates loops in a regular finite graph to traces of a certain representation. As an application the poles of the Ihara/Bass zeta function are expressed as dimensions of global section spaces of locally…

Using quadratic forms, we stablish a criteria to relate the curvature of a Riemannian manifold and partial hyperbolicity of its geodesic flow. We show some examples which satisfy the criteria and another which does not satisfy it but still…

We prove several results concerning the existence of surfaces of section for the geodesic flows of closed orientable Riemannian surfaces. The surfaces of section $\Sigma$ that we construct are either Birkhoff sections, meaning that they…

We consider a geodesic flow on a compact manifold endowed with a Riemannian (or Finsler, or Lorentz) metric satisfying some generic, explicit conditions. We couple the geodesic flow with a time-dependent potential, driven by an external…

In this paper we study some generic properties of the geodesic flows on a convex sphere. We prove that, $C^r$ generically ($2\le r\le\infty$), every hyperbolic closed geodesic admits some transversal homoclinic orbits.
